planes

i think that pilots would be really worried about staling out. Also pulling an insane amount of Gs because the planes couldn't pull off crazy maneuvers the pilot would still attempt to. when they tried to they could potential rip off the wings or stop the propeller from spinning. Also there was the potential hazard of get shot with the machine gun bullets penetrating the wings or main hull of the plane. Also the machine gun in the front could shoot off the propeller. A German inventor made the triggering mechanism for the machine gun so it wouldnt shoot out the propeller.

great war

WWI was the war that caused a lot of deaths. Mostly because of the new weapons such as machine guns and flamethrowers. Also trench warfare was extremely stressing on soldiers. The diseases would kill many soldiers and cause irritations to soldiers such as lice. They also had to deal with the constant stress of enemies being right across the field. The machine gun was a big invention along with gas and artillery as it killed many many soldiers.

Call of Duty

I think that call of duty and other violent video games are a freedom of speech. I think that these games should be allowed to stay just the way they are as they can express the harsh realities of war. They may not depict war to the utmost accuracy, but they do show intense scenes and reality of war. They are also usually over the top kind of war most of the time the wars are not as gung-ho. In these games you generally play the role of one character and it goes through a story telling how the character progresses through the war. In call of duty 2 you played as a british captain at one point and you traversed all kinds of historical battles and sights. Also the player sees the stresses that the soldiers go through. From freezing their fingers to watching explosions and other things similar to that. Also in these video games you can experience the reality of war or an over dramatization of what war would be like. It is an emotional experience really. Yes it is fun to shoot "bad guys" but really its for experiencing the emotional part of the wars.
